Watch for the signs of school struggle

Low grades aren't the only signal that your child may be struggling in school. A child who suddenly doesn't want to go to school, for example, may have a problem with a classmate or a teacher. A child who starts blaming others for making it hard to learn, or says things like, "I knew I'd never be good in school," may be afraid of failing. If you see these signs, discuss them with your child, the teacher or a school counselor.
